Largest CO2 emitter owners in the Netherlands, by group
The 30 CO2 emitter owners in the Netherlands, each company counted under its ultimate parent and ranked by the verified emissions in 2025 of the CO2 emitters the group's companies own, operate or hold. Shell leads with 6,373,610 tCO2e across 2 CO2 emitters, held by 2 of its companies, ahead of Tata Steel (5,689,202 tCO2e) and RWE Aktiengesellschaft (5,428,828 tCO2e).
A group is a parent company in the data and every subsidiary under it (GLEIF, Wikidata and the UK register of people with significant control); a company with no parent in the data is a group of its own. Each CO2 emitter counts once per group, in whole, or by the group's share where a source records one. A CO2 emitter with owners or operators in two groups counts in both, so the sizes do not add up to the Netherlands's total. The 30 groups listed are linked to 55,352,070 tCO2e; the CO2 emitters in the Netherlands with verified emissions in 2025 recorded add up to 43,138,716 tCO2e.
